This car is a nasty mess. I would say parts only car. Known issues: Front rotors are completely warped and cracked. Driving this car is very dangerous because the pulsing and vibrations when you brake are extreme. Rear brakes were redone recently should be in good shape. I cannot open the front hood. Oil change guy could not open it. I brought it to a mechanic and he gave up and gave the car back to me... The cable actuates at the front of the car but it will not release anything. I cannot reach the latch with a screwdriver or anything. I tried drilling holes from the front but I could not get it open. There is a problem with the door seals so when it rains it fills up with water. The interior is full of mold now and smells really bad. The interior was trashed by a dog who freaked out and tried to chew her way out of the car. This means panels and roof and fabric and liners have been ripped out all over the place. Dog hairs everywhere. Windows will not go down. Only 3 of 4 hubcaps. Tires are in good shape. Body panels and glass in good shape. The metal inside the driver's side door lock has crumbled and the door locking circuit is messed up so you cannot lock the doors. There is an exhaust leak. This combined with the fact that the windows do not open makes it dangerous to drive. You will feel lightheaded from the fumes. Especially when stopped at a light. I can hear something that sounds like a vacuum leak whooshing. Rear gate will not release. I removed the back interior panel and pull the metal rod from the inside by hand to open it. Radio/CD was working last time I drove it. Gas tank is 7/16 full of Premium 92 Octane gas. 4 Cyl. Turbo. Engine has always been fine. It has always been filled with Mobil 1. Like I said.... Parts Car. No warrantee. Check Engine light is on. Pickup Only. I have title in hand. It is still Registered and Insured under my name. But you really do not want to drive this car. Bring a tow truck. I MIGHT be willing to drive it a short distance to you for $1.00 a mile. Please contact me to discuss. I will address this issue on a case by case basis. Just go on the assumption that you need to pick it up and tow it. I accept PayPal but Cash at time of pickup is preferred. $100 PayPal deposit required within 48 hours of auction closing. The rest is due before or on the day of pickup. If final price is less than $100 then just pay the final price and you are all done. Pickup must take place within 7 days of auction closing.
